Enjoy your day Rene
Today is Ladies Day at the wineries. Our first reservation is at noon for a private tasting. It's an annual tradition sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It will be a fun indulgent day.

susiq25679, that sounds like fun! Good morning. It will be above freezing today but rainy later. Better than snow and at least I don't have to trudge out to the chicken run every few hours to switch out the frozen water. I need to get my big canna pots into the basement. They go dormant there and perk up in the Spring and then they go outside again. Give them some food and water and top off the soil and they keep going for years. Same thing with my potted geraniums although next summer I want to put them in bigger pots and really make them happy. Still working on NOT GAINING (too much) this holiday season. Our anniversary and Christmas and New Year's are still ahead and will be food challenges. If I keep in mind that each is only ONE DAY it might help. Wishing all a peaceful day.

Good morning! It's been an eventful week for us but we're home now. We left on Tuesday with DGD11 and DGS9 to drive to our ranch before their parents came on Wednesday night. We had fun with the kids, showing them the ranch, opening and cleaning the house, collecting fire wood, watching for scorpions and other critters, and building a fire in our outdoor kitchen. We grilled burgers over a mesquite fire (delicious) and enjoyed the grandkids without parental influences (ha!) Wednesday night, DD called and she and DSIL only got 1 hour out of town before they started having car trouble. They limped back to Houston and couldn't come to the ranch. So, we got up early on Thanksgiving day, loaded our car and took off for home. I was surprised at the amount of traffic on Thanksgiving day but we made it home easily. We threw together a meal after we got home with everyone there. (so happy we had already had our turkey dinner on Saturday!) Afterwards, we played games and enjoyed being with each other. We all learned a big lesson this holiday season: we don't care as much about the food as we do with being with each other. It was a wonderful time!  |

I'm in. Good morning! I have a baby shower today for DN. She's expecting a girl in early February and they're here from NC for the long holiday weekend. Will need much more coffee I think. susiq25679, that's one of the best ways to spend a Saturday - have fun! linda72, so sorry your plans were cut short but, good to hear you enjoyed yourselves in spite of the change. Welcome back! Hope everyone enjoys the day! |

susiq25679, lovely way to spend a day... And the fact that it has become a tradition is precious! Enjoy! diva49, have a wonderful day! linda72, sorry about the bump in your plans, but you guys were able to switch things around and work it out. Good going, sometimes people let things like that ruin everything. fullmahina, I have to rein things in, and was thinking about not even going near the scale during the holidays. Trying to learn how to feel it, rather than weigh it, if you know what I mean. I can be on such a good trend and mess myself up by weighing in. doordie50, enjoy the shower, her first? I actually did buy a crock pot on Amazon last night, very happy about that..... And even better....... We have flights reserved for the states in May ! Will be in South Carolina up the coast to New York. So excited!

Have a great day. I’m in with baby steps and need to run to the store shortly. A fairly quiet day ahead.

I'm in...maybe just before the door slams shut!
We had more rain early in the day but it cleared by this evening.
I had dinner with a friend (Chinese) and then we went to see a local production of 42nd Street which was fantastic.
I'm off to sleepland very shortly.

fullmahina, I have to rein things in, and was thinking about not even going near the scale during the holidays. Trying to learn how to feel it, rather than weigh it, if you know what I mean. I can be on such a good trend and mess myself up by weighing in. One of the biggest things I have to overcome is self-sabotage. At first I didn't really buy into that theory but then I noticed that whenever I started to do really well with weight loss according to the scale, I began sabotaging my own efforts. It wasn't even terribly obvious that there was a connection---for example, I was never one to see a loss on the scale and then go celebrate with an ice cream sundae or a bottle of wine. But the connection was there. Slowly, the portions would get bigger, I'd add a bit more butter, grab "just a few" cookies, swipe some chips from DH's plate. I'd stop tracking, telling myself that I'm fine, I kinda eat the same stuff everyday anyway (no, I don't---where was that coming from??). And all those things DO add up and lo and behold, the next time I'd get on the scale I would be up a pound or two. I am really trying now to overcome that but it is so insidious, in my case anyway. I constantly have to be aware and constantly have to work at it. I stopped weighing myself every week and went to monthly weighing. That helped a bit with gaining but I wasn't really on a big losing trend. Now I am back to weighing weekly and trying not to obsess or self-sabotage. It will forever be a struggle for me. KOKO..... |
